colneycanary 0 Posted September 13, 2007 I know the name The Pink''un goes back quite a few years and that its been reporting all about norwich city and other local team news for some time now. I also know it used to be printed on pink paper, thats how it got its name but is there any other reason to keep this name? I just think its a very strange name to be associated with a club thats plays in yellow and green. Maybe it should be changed to The Green and Yellow''s or maybe Yellow Fever!

macdougalls perm 0 Posted September 13, 2007 It should stay as The Pink Un. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tetteys Jig 830 Posted September 14, 2007 It''s not strictly a NCFC paper, but a Norfolk one, and despite whenever i show my m8''s it, i get flak, i don''t think it can be changed without losing some sort of respectability and Integrity. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

we8wba 0 Posted September 14, 2007 my thoughts are no, basically the odd one or two may suggest name change etc... but the majority of the people like the current name and would disagree with the suggestion of a new namei think the pink un is good, its regular name up n down the country and no one else worries about it! i dont think the yellow n green un has the same ring to it do you?

Libbra Lives in Dubai 0 Posted September 14, 2007 I do get some strange looks from colleagues at work if they happen to come into my office and notice ''the pink''un'' on my screen. I''m sure they think it''s some gay chat site...I think its a yes from me - change the name to "The Norfolk ''n Good":P Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Taiwan Canary 142 Posted September 14, 2007 You''re not the author of the book "Norfolk''n''good" Are you? It was a fantastic read about the best ever season (1992/3) if you are! The pink''un should never ever change it''s name by the way. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

on the road again 0 Posted September 14, 2007 If this is all you have to worry about then I think you need to rethink life. Why change just for change sake. The Pink''un has been sent all over the world, including to myself. I ask the question should we change from yellow and green as green is meant to be an unlucky colour.

Ask Rep Of Ireland National Team, And Northern Ireland, Worthington will blame the green kit when someone points it out to him, and look at our old Lotus Green kit, It looked class wearing it out on the street, but how many games did we win wearing it?

I used to live in america and used to get my family to send the pink''un over. Not that i was bothered about it, and i would laugh about it too, but my friends at the time used to joke about its name the "pink''un" and our nickname "the canaries". They all used to say how gay it sounded, and thought i supported a gay soccer team. Its ok for the people who live in norfolk because everyone has heard of it, but outside of norfolk no-one would associate a paper called the pink''un with news on norwich and local sports news.
